Canada finally gets new GPMGs
Canada adopted the C6 (FN MAG 58) back in the late 1970s, replacing the Bren and others, but the ones in service are dated…
It was announced this week that Colt Canada will add 13 jobs as a result of a contract to provide the first new general purpose machine guns to the nation’s military in 30 years. The new design will be flexible across all platforms and used by ground troops as well. Upgrades from legacy C6s include a polymer stock and furniture and the ability to add optics and accessories via an integrated rail system.
